“Do you have any business here?”
Seeing the couple, Li Yidao furrowed his brows.
Didn’t he make himself clear earlier?
“Plop!”
“Please! I beg you! Save my daughter! I’m begging you!” Sister Zhou’s mother knelt directly in front of Li Yidao, tears streaming down her face.
To be honest, this caught Li Yidao completely off guard!
“If you were tough, if you threatened me a bit, I could at least retaliate.”
“But… ”
“If you go about it like this, it’s just not playing by the rules!”
After his complaint in the heart, Li Yidao said, “Sigh… I already said I can’t do anything. This won’t help.”
Li Yidao was truly exasperated.
“Please, please, save my daughter, I’m begging you!”
“Stop! I told you I can’t do anything! Don’t you understand? If you keep doing this, I’ll call the police!”
Seeing the other person even wanting to kowtow to him, Li Yidao quickly dodged.
F*ck!
He thought angrily, “Please, don’t do this, I’m speechless! If I accept your kowtow, there will be karmic consequences!”
Perhaps the Hand of God could save Sister Zhou.
But if he actually took action, then he would never find peace in the future!
Should he save someone just because they kneel before him?
Was that a joke?
At this moment, Zhou Tianqi rushed into the shop.
He hurriedly stepped in to stop Sister Zhou’s mother.
He had noticed Li Yidao’s impatience!
Perhaps it was the trauma left behind by his last meeting with Li Yidao!
Now he was truly scared, or rather, terrified!
What if his wife provoked Li Yidao with her irrational behavior?
Would that lead to something unfortunate happening to her?
They shouldn’t have come today!
They should have waited for people from Qi Yuqiang’s department to make contact with Li Yidao and figure things out.
This was the most correct path!
But Sister Zhou’s mother… just acted like a mad woman!
She drove non-stop all the way here!
He had to pay the taxi driver an extra 500 yuan to catch up!
Sister Zhou’s mother now seemed like a woman gone crazy!
He was really afraid that she might say something wrong.
So he hurriedly tried to intervene!
“I’m sorry, please understand, I’ll take her away now!” He apologized to Li Yidao with regret.
As Zhou Tianqi was about to help Sister Zhou’s mother get up, something unexpected happened.
She suddenly stopped crying and stood up.
Although her body trembled involuntarily, she appeared remarkably composed, or rather, she was forcing herself to be calm.
She gazed at Li Yidao and said, “Mr. Li, we saw everything you did yesterday. I know that some things… maybe…”
At this point, she hesitated, seemingly unsure of the right words to use.
“I’m not asking you to tell me how to save my daughter directly, and I’m not asking you to intervene. I just beg you for a hint, just one hint, can you do that?” Her eyes were filled with pleading.
Seeing the mother’s maternal desperation, Li Yidao found himself lost in some memories.
He couldn’t help but wonder how his own mother was doing in that other world after he had left.
With these thoughts in mind, he eventually made a decision.
He would take a look at the cause of Sister Zhou’s death.
Regardless of whether the person was pitiful or not, their actions touched a sense of compassion in Li Yidao’s heart.
He had previously wanted to ignore this matter, so he paid it no heed.
But now that he wanted to take a look, he decided to do just that.
However…
When he took out his phone and opened the video of Sister Zhou, using the Death Investigation skill, he was surprised to see that it required zero years of lifespan to use.
His brows furrowed, and he clicked on it.
[Unknown cause of death, one month remaining!]
Unknown?
The skill couldn’t even detect the cause of Sister Zhou’s death.
To be honest, Li Yidao was stunned for a moment!
It seemed that Sister Zhou’s death was not simple!
Zhou Tianqi and Sister Zhou’s mother, on the other hand, were filled with hope as they saw Li Yidao take out his phone.
But as they witnessed his changing expressions, their hearts were filled with After several minutes, Li Yidao finally spoke calmly, meeting their expectant gazes, “She has one month left. As for the rest, all I can say is that danger is everywhere, but there is still a glimmer of hope.”
“But…” Sister Zhou’s mother wanted to inquire further, yet Zhou Tianqi stopped her.
“Thank you! Thank you!” Zhou Tianqi had already understood the situation.
It was already rare for Li Yidao to provide this hint today.
Continuing to make a scene would be pointless.
It was better to leave a good impression and wait for Qi Yuqiang to intervene later to explore other possibilities.
So, he held Sister Zhou’s mother’s hand and prepared to leave.
As he was about to walk away, the corner of his eye caught sight of the amulets that Li Yidao had casually thrown on the counter earlier.
He couldn’t help but have a feeling in his heart.
This amulet must be extraordinary!
He subconsciously asked, “Mr. Li, are these amulets for sale? Can you sell one to me? How much?”
It must be said that his judgment was spot-on!
As a product of the system, how could it be an ordinary item?
Li Yidao followed the direction of his finger and looked at the ten amulets on the counter.
Perhaps to quickly get rid of him, Li Yidao casually stated a price, “Ten thousand yuan each.”
It was quite expensive!
But it wasn’t outrageously expensive either.
Li Yidao’s thought was simple.
After all, it was a reward from the system.
10,000 yuan each wasn’t expensive, right?
Zhou Tianqi was momentarily stunned!
Ten thousand yuan for one amulet?
You could get one at a temple for just a few hundred, or even tens of yuan. But when he thought about the feeling he had just now, he clenched his teeth.
“I want one!” he said, taking out his phone to make the payment.
Li Yidao didn’t expect him to be so decisive. He handed over an amulet and added, “Keep it close to you.”
“Thank you.”
After saying that, Zhou Tianqi casually placed the amulet in the pocket of his jacket, holding his wife’s hand as they left.
On the way back, Sister Zhou’s mother remained silent, seemingly ignoring Zhou Tianqi’s purchase of the amulet for ten thousand yuan.
Zhou Tianqi looked at his wife and subconsciously reached out his right hand to hold her. He felt the same sorrow, but now was not the time to grieve.
They still had hope. Li Yidao had just said it would be a month, which meant their daughter had one more month.
At this time, they were sure to find a solution.
However, just at that moment, suddenly, a huge truck came speeding from their left side.
It seemed that the truck driver had lost focus or that their location was in the truck’s blind spot.
The truck was speeding without any signs of slowing down.
When Zhou Tianqi realized the danger, it was too late to dodge.
His mind went blank, but he instinctively turned the steering wheel to keep their car at an angle, minimizing the impact on his wife’s side. However, this angle proved to be fatal for the driver’s side.
With a loud crash, they couldn’t avoid this calamity.
The deafening noise filled Zhou Tianqi’s ears, synchronized with the sound of metal deformation.
The car rolled over, and he felt a whirlwind of sensations.
In the next moment, time seemed to freeze.
As the force of impact came at him, Zhou Tianqi only had one thought. He was done for.
With such a heavy blow, he was unlikely to survive.
Thankfully, he managed to turn the car at the last moment, ensuring his wife’s safety.
She had not taken the full impact head-on.
Their car’s safety features, including the airbags, would probably protect her from serious harm.
At least her life was not in immediate danger.
As the feeling of impact faded, his mind gradually went blank.
He passed out…
After a while, the screams and shouts of passersby finally reached their ears.
“Car accident! Quick, save them! Oh my God!” “There’s blood everywhere! Call for an ambulance!”
“And 911! The driver is trapped!”
“Let’s all help! Come on!”
“Pull! Pull!”
“No, don’t force it! Wait for 911!”
911 arrived quickly.
“Quick! This lady is fine! She didn’t take the full impact, just unconscious. Get her out of here!” They were clearly talking about Sister Zhou’s mother.
“Huh? This person is also okay?”
“This is a miracle! The driver’s cabin is so crushed, yet they’re unharmed! It’s a miracle! ”
“Quick! Get the hydraulic pliers!”
“Pull them out! Hurry!”
“So lucky!”
Soon, Zhou Tianqi was also rescued.
Doctors rushed over and conducted examinations swiftly.
Both of them were soon lifted into an ambulance.
Due to Zhou Tianqi’s quick actions, Sister Zhou’s mother indeed only had some light injuries: a fractured leg and multiple bruises. But there was no life-threatening danger.
As for Zhou Tianqi… to the shock of all the doctors after examination, he only had some small abrasions!
They were astonished!
What kind of lucky charm was he?
The deformation of the entire driver’s cabin seemed to be custom-made for him!
Even the slightest difference in the layout might have been fatal for him!
Truly…
So lucky!
They witnessed a miracle.
Soon, Zhou Tianqi also regained consciousness.
He looked around in a daze.
“I… survived?”
Then he felt a burning sensation in his chest.
He subconsciously reached into his pocket.
But when he took his hand out, he found only ashes!
What was going on?
Suddenly, he sat up straight, his eyes filled with shock.
This movement startled the surrounding doctors.
He suddenly thought of something! The amulet!
He recalled what was in his chest pocket!
It was the amulet he had just bought for ten thousand yuan. It was the talisman of safety!
Suddenly…
He trembled all over.
He felt a chilling sensation..
